For people in the Horn of Africa and parts of East Africa, the dangers of climate change are not a vague, far-off threat. People in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia are now enduring severe drought. Despite bearing no responsibility for the factors driving climate change, they are suffering the effects and struggling to survive.

You can help them get through today and build resilience in the face of the climate change crisis for years to come. The best way to help families through this crisis and keep our long-term poverty-fighting work going strong is by becoming a monthly donor. When you make a monthly donation, you join the Oxfam Partners, a global community of compassionate supporters who are building a future where no one lives in poverty. And when you make your first monthly gift now, for a limited time only, a generous donor will contribute an additional $100!

We're looking for 100 committed supporters to change lives, today and every day: become a monthly Partner now.

End the Muslim Ban

It's been three years since President Trump's Muslim Ban went into effect, blocking travel to the US from majority-Muslim countries. Now, with the presidential election upon us, we went to all of the presidential candidates to ask if they would commit to repealing the Muslim Ban before the fourth anniversary in 2021. You can be a part of this ask.

Join us and demand that the next president commits to ending the Muslim Ban >>

 
 
 

Puerto Rico and the Road to Recovery

On January 6th and 7th, three earthquakes rocked Puerto Rico, with ongoing tremors days after. This humanitarian crisis demonstrates how little the island has advanced in its struggle to rebuild since the devastating hurricanes of 2017. While the US federal government has been slow to respond, Oxfam is again working with the people of Puerto Rico to build back more resilient and sustainable systems.

The 22 richest men in the world have more wealth than all the women in Africa

Last week, as political and business elites gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Oxfam dropped a shocking new report, Time To Care. The report warns that today's levels of extreme wealth concentration are not sustainable, and that so many billionaires are a sign of economic sickness, not health.

Best way to resolve humanitarian disaster in Yemen? End the war

The conflict in Yemen still remains the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. For the past two years, Oxfam supporters have played an important role in pushing for peace in Yemen, as they urged lawmakers to take legislative action to cut off the flow of arms from the US. This sent a powerful message that the US needs to be on the side of peace instead of war.

A New Attempt to Silence Small Investors

This month, President Trump's US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed a dangerous rule change. If passed, it would gut the ability of small investors to file shareholder resolutions – the kinds of proposals that Oxfam has used to challenge corporations to pay their fair share of taxes, clean up their supply chains, and demand climate action.

How this proposed rule would be a serious blow to corporate accountability structures >>
